MY gemini so far

[danielb]

hey all i brought my first car about 3 months ago, ofcourse it had to be a gemini that i picked up pretty cheap because it wasnt running properly, i got it home pumped up the tyres and cleaned out the boot because petrol had leaked everywhere, there was a leak in the tank that i quickly soldered galv over. then as i finished cleaning it out i realized how tidy this car was. it is immaculate for a car thats 30 years old, like no rust what so ever it had one small dent and the motor looked clean. all the inside was great. when i tried to start it wouldnt go, i put petrol strait into the carb and it came to life first pop only thing was as soon as that petrol was gone it stopped. after tinkering with everything i realised the fuel pump was the problem. i fixed it but recently died again, today i just put a brand new one in it and it runs amazing!!! im really stoked with it. it had 130,000kms on the clock and one owner its whole life besides me. waiting to get some cheviot turbos i brought off tim and going to give it a tune, oil change and get a new oil filter. its got a warrent and rego had to buy new shocks and brake hoses. even after all this in total have payed 1500hundi including mags from tim, which is pretty dam good to be honest. id love any advice avalible and help along the way. i will post pics when i get turbos and figure out how to post up pics haha.

cheers daniel

palmie nth... will get onto those wheels tomorrow or tuesday too big guy, gotta get down to the workshop and strip em off my car.
Also daniel you realise the cheviots use old style shanked nuts... they arent incl in auction. If your lucky you may know someone with spares rattling around, I paid $100 or so for mine which is why I wanna hold onto them for now. (not sure what rims will end up on these cars)
Anyway thought I had better forewarn you!
